FS Harry Paul 996604 RAF

[Paul Squires]

Hi All,

Wireless Operator Air Gunner FS Harry Paul 996604 RAF is listed in the book They Shall Grow Not Old as a Canadian from Woodstock, Ontario. He was injured September 7-8, 1942 in the crash of #20 OTU Wellington T2913, and succumbed to his injuries September 9.

The Find a Grave website is very informative, but there is no indication that FS Paul had any connection to Canada.

Can anyone shed light on this?

Hi Temujin,

Many Thanks.

I don't know how you do it, but I'm glad you do!

Some of this I found, but references to Canada I did not.

Credit to wartimes.ca in text, of course.

All the Best,

Paul
